Hey Everyone,

I have recently come into a position where I get to go all over the country cooking at live music venues. Everyday has become like a different top chef episode with all the problems that can go wrong on the road with food.

For example,
"So it has been an odd day, probably the last truly easy one I will have for awhile. With all good days problems are always there to be fixed. 70 hours building a kitchen inside a trailer this week and just when we think we are all set, circuit blows in athens today cause we have to much running off of one power line (Not a good thing to say the least), but like any bump in the road it's just a bump. Nothing to freak out over, or let myself get worked up about. The band is ironing out there sound and lights and started with sound checks, but just as we had problems so did they. Georgia is having some of the heaviest rain in months so coordinating this many people in the weather has left them seperated, and made it difficult to get everyone in the same place at the same time. Suprisingly everyone is remakably calm about it all, as they choose to be. Positive attitude goes along way everywhere.

On a fun note we cook our first meals for the band and staff tomorrow, Lunch is Spaghetti with a light homemade spaghetti sauce, with a greek salad, fruit medley, and some rolls. For dinner nothing but comfort with Prime Rib potatos au gratin, sauteed mushrooms and green beans, collard greens, and home made cookies. Sound delicous?? I say yes. Hope the oven is firing up tomorrow or things could change up a bit. All in all good things and good times out here. Everyone is still as kind as can be and we are all getting more comfortable with one another now that we are all remembering each others names and faces. Well a few more things to do today and then tomorrow brings more experience and new challenges. Thanks to you all who became followers of my blog i hope you at very least find it mildly entertaining and amusing."
